"The fact that we're going to hold Joe Biden to one standard and Donald Trump to another, which is really no standard at all." - @JoeNBC on The New York Times et al.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes
"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

"you're not American why do you care about the 4th of July" mate I'm Indian, any day someone got the Brits to fuck off back to their country is a national holiday for me

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values

Aside from his noxious this is, let’s address the piece of it designed to appeal to those on the left: that voting is pointless. It’s based on one big honking lie: namely that the only point of voting is to be able to make the decision all by yourself.
NY Times officially abetting the end of American democracy by publishing this shit. What the ever loving fuck

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

I have been saying since February that major media are 100% devoted to But Her Emails 2, but I didnt imagine it would get this bad. The day after SCOTUS stops the law applying to Trump, we have to scroll thru 4 fucking top stories on “Biden old” & an ad before getting to anything on SCOTUS decision
The idea that these are the top stories when the Supreme Court blew up the constitution yesterday makes me want to scream and cry forever.

I’m sure there are candidates who’d do better than Biden, that’s not the issue, it’s the arrogance of people who spend all their time doing horse-race commentary in exchange for fat paychecks treating real people’s political participation as an afterthought. Process is for the Normals, you see
But remember, this kind of thing is only bad when Biden/the Dems do it
For the first time in decades, the RNC won't allow cameras/media into its platform meeting. Further evolution of the Trump-era RNC's aversion to the press - they see only downsides for transparency, though this hasn't prevented damaging stories when reporters dig in www.semafor.com/article/07/0...
In a shift, the RNC will decide its platform behind closed doorswww.semafor.com The decision to skip the usual cameras comes as the party is in a difficult debate over abortion.

The really bitter irony here is that SCOTUS is making the president a king while a Democrat is president. They aren't worried about it because they know Democrats won't accept Biden actually acting the way they are saying he can.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.
I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

When I saw Biden at a fundraiser early this month, he sounded tired and a bit feeble, particularly contrasted with Obama talking right next to him. But the choice between enfeebled and a narcissistic sociopath surrounded by younger narcissistic sociopaths is not even a little difficult.

Librul media bias my fuckin ass.
Honestly this is surreal I thought it was pretty bad all around but CNN and MSNBC both openly talking about replacing the Democratic candidate and not at all talking about Trump, man

If you live in NE-2 (Omaha), your Presidential vote may be the highest leverage in American history. Nebraska awards 1 EV to the winner of each Congressional District, with 2 additional EV going to the statewide winner. If Biden wins his 2020 states, except NV, AZ & GA, NE-2 decides the election.

Noam Chomsky’s death was fabricated or at least grossly exaggerated to obscure American imperialist violence

Your regular reminder that I personally loathe Noam Chomsky for the reprehensible things he said in apologia for the Khmer Rouge - and has never really taken back. He was no friend to the Cambodian people. (Not to mention his stance on Ukraine).

Biden: posts a +2 shift in the polls, leads in many national polls for the first time in months Totally not conservative Twitter pundits: "he needs to drop out so someone can beat Trump" Trump, in interview with probation officer: "they feed car batteries to sharks, then they eat the windmills."
